A man who allegedly ran over a male who came to him trying to buy drugs faces an attempted-murder charge, according to a court charging document.
Michael Andrew King, 20, of 2004 Ridge Crest Court SE in Washington, D.C., was being held late Thursday at Washington County Detention Center with no bond, a deputy said.
King is accused of driving a box-shaped vehicle over the yellow centerline and striking a male walking at about 3:30 a.m. April 28 on Security Road before eventually driving off.
The victim, who was hospitalized with a fractured skull, bruising and swelling of the brain and cuts on his arms, chest and head, told police the man who hit him had held him up at gunpoint during an attempted drug deal at Washington Gardens Apartments just before the alleged hit-and-run accident, according to the charging document.
